Holiday Mincemeat

This filling will make two 9″ pies. Use it also as a filling for baked apples or yeast coffeecakes.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Leeks and Peas

Stuffed into winter squash of any type, this makes a great main dish for a festive meal. Or, simply serve on its own for a colorful and nourishing side dish. Fresh sage leaves are easy to find this time of year in the produce section of well-stocked supermarkets.

Bryanna’s Vegan Pumpkin Pie

I don’t like pumpkin pie made with tofu-no one ever suspects this one doesn’t have eggs. One caution-MAKE THIS THE DAY BEFORE SERVING. It’s needs a day to set really well, I find. This is a spicy filling.

Chocolate Chanukkah Cookies

This recipe comes from the mother of a friend of mine that makes these cookies every year. They are lower in fat than more traditional cookies are always quickly gobbled up. I like using Star of David cutters, but gelt or dreidel cutters also work great. These cookies can also be frosted with royal icing or glazed.

Pumpkin Tofu Pie

Here is a recipe I found on vegweb posted by “mary.” I have not tried it, but it got good reviews.

Pumpkin Pie (no Tofu)

I don’t like pumpkin pies with tofu for some reason, so I had to search for a good recipe without it. This one is great! I don’t remember where I found it, but I use it every year, and it is never turned down! I don’t like pie crust (I often just make the filling!), so I am sorry I cannot offer a good ff crust recipe. I have tried cutting out all of the sugar and using more maple syrup, which actually works fine, but I don’t remember the measurements I used…if you want a refined-sugar-free pumpkin pie, it can be done, though! Sorry I cannot be more exact. If I make it again this year, I’ll post the exact amounts to the list.

Mince “Meat” Pie

Here’s one that I used long ago. It’s from the November 1991 issue of Vegetarian Times, and until now it’s been in a binder with a lot of old recipes. I remember making it several times and liking it and then passing it along to my non-vegetarian father when he wanted to use up a lot of the citrus fruit he grows. He loved it, too.

Pumpkin Pie Wontons

These dessert wontons are a great way to serve pumpkin pie individually. Look for packaged wonton wrappers in Asian grocery stores. Be careful–many of them are not vegan.

Christmas Bread, Panettone-style

As promised I’m reporting on my weekend in the kitchen. I was aiming for a low-fat vegan panettone, but I had forgotten to buy the essential aniseed! Here’s what I made and it’s pretty darn good. I think I’ll call it PaneCathy.
